Chapter 1356: Mahdi is caught

Said did not oppose Fazler's idea out of the Tang Dynasty's meticulous position, and his attempt to assassinate the Khazarian envoy in the Tang army's camp was nothing short of a dream.

Judging from the martial law of these two days alone, the Tang people attached great importance to the safety of the Khazars, and in this case, how could the Tang people allow Fazler and his entourage to have the opportunity to contact them?

As soon as they step out of the barracks, they will immediately be watched by countless eyes, both overt and covert.

In fact, the Tang people in the previous seven or eight days seemed to be defenseless, but they were closely monitored in the dark, and if they dared to do deviant behavior, they would inevitably be obstructed.

Fazler still underestimated the Tang people too much.

What's more, the Khazars have always been brave, even if they don't have the protection of the Tang people, they can't be killed easily.

However, Saeed cannot say these words in the open, and can only oppose them on the grounds of Fazler's safety.

Seeing that Said objected to his opinion without saying anything, Fazler was very angry and felt that Said was greedy for life and afraid of death. But after calming down and thinking about it, I also feel that Said's worries are not unreasonable.

The Khazars' fierce rivals will always be the Empire, and even if one or two emissaries die on the territory of the Tang people, it is impossible to change it.

As long as this did not change, it would be impossible for one or two emissaries to live or die to shake their determination to unite the Tang people against the Empire.

Thinking of this, Fazler sighed a little dejectedly.

"You're right, if we move without permission, it is inevitable to send us to death, maybe this death is meaningless, isn't it a betrayal of the caliph's trust and reuse?"

Seeing that Fazler was finally relieved, Said nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, His Highness is exactly what he said, and the villain is so worried......"

Although the two of them agreed on this matter, Fazler was always stunned, and somehow had a very bad premonition in his heart, but if he said that the premonition came from, it was not clear for a while.

That night, Saeed did not return to his military tent, and stayed with Fazler all the time, and the two discussed how to deal with various situations.

Before he knew it, he had been sleepless all night until dawn, when one of Said's attendants suddenly burst in.

Fazler was a little displeased, and some of Said's entourage was indeed not very polite, although in the enemy camp, it was not so unruly, right?

However, Fazler was still able to distinguish between priorities and priorities, and it was extremely foolish to be in danger at this time, to dwell on all kinds of details. Therefore, he did not show his dissatisfaction, but took the initiative to greet him.

This is of course out of a gesture of wooing Said, but on the other hand, it is also to show his calmness in front of outsiders.

"The villain visits His Highness, it's not a good thing...... Okay......"

Said's retinue spoke a little incoherently, because he was a half-Tang descent, and the common language was the local Turkic language in the Western Regions.

But the next words of the attendant made Fazler and Saeed shiver together.

"Mahdi, Prince Mahdi was captured by the Khazars, and he is, right here, at this time in the military camp of the Tang people!"

It wasn't until the retinue repeated it that Fazler stood up as if he had woken up from a dream, staggered despite the gaffe, rushed at him, and asked in a loud voice:

"Is this true? Did you really see Mahdi?"

The entourage has been following Said for more than ten years, not to mention loyal to Said, and at the same time, he has also seen Mahdi's face with his own eyes, plus he has half of the Tang blood, and he has a face close to the Tang people, so it is more convenient to move secretly in the military camp, if he really saw Mahdi, it is not impossible.

Perhaps because of the bad premonition that Fazler had a bad feeling, Fazler believed such a ridiculous statement.

"The villain was ordered by his master to inquire about the situation, and indeed met a prisoner, who was at least ninety percent similar in appearance to Mahdi!"

Hearing this, Fazler only felt that his hands were constantly shaking, trembling uncontrollably.

"No, no, no, it can't be. This must be a trick played by the Tang people......"

He was a little incoherent and turned to look at Said.

"Said, you go and confirm this, you must confirm it, otherwise, otherwise it will ......"

Otherwise, what would happen next, Fazler could hardly imagine and did not dare to imagine.

If Mahdi had been captured by the Khazars and given to the Tang people as a greeting gift, it would have been a great blow to the empire and the loss of the caliphate.

Everything that the caliph had planned before would be completely defeated, and the heir crisis would probably turn into the light, and most of the princes who held military power were al-Mansur's brothers or uncles and nephews, so how could they let go of the opportunity to fall from the sky?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and Fazler subconsciously spun around in the tent, his mind racing about how to deal with the worst-case scenario.

After a long time, Fazler let out a long sigh that he had nothing to do.

If the news that Mahdi had been captured by the Khazars and given to the Dons was true, he would have been in an unprecedented passivity, let alone the negotiations that followed.

Fazler had an even worse feeling that he was going to lose nothing here.

Said suddenly thought of the bet Fazler had made with Zheng Xianli the day before.

"Your Highness made a bet with General Tang that day, what he said was angry, or ......"

This is really a pot that can't be opened, Fazle has forgotten about it, and now Saeed suddenly mentioned it again, not to mention how depressed he is.

The bets are all angry words, how can they be taken seriously, but if the Tang people use these words when they are angry to humiliate themselves, how should they deal with it?

Just thinking about it, Fazler found it hard to accept.

However, the words spoken are like a cut stake, which cannot be continued, and you can only take one step at a time.

Gradually, Fazler calmed down from his initial panic.

"The most important thing at the moment is to confirm this news, it is best if you can personally identify whether that person is Mahdi or not, and then we must also prepare for the worst, and be ready to return to Ctesiphon at any time!"

Fazler knew that if Mahdi did fall into the hands of the Tang people, it would be difficult for the caliph to give a reasonable account to his courtiers and generals about the previous lies, and a civil strife might be imminent.

Said agreed, and he also felt that he needed to confirm it, but I wonder if the Tang people would confide the truth to him......
